JT808

JT808 is a protocol toolkit for vehicle positioning and telematics systems. It turns binary terminal messages into explicit domain events and keeps the transport, codec, session, and business layers separate.

Focus

  • decode and encode protocol messages with predictable validation;
  • manage terminal sessions and acknowledgements;
  • expose normalized vehicle events to downstream services;
  • make malformed frames and unsupported message types observable.

The project treats the protocol boundary as a reliability boundary: raw bytes are validated once, then passed to the rest of the system as typed events.
